Cartoon offenses

So the paper at the Uni of Virginia very quickly appologized for a cartoon making fun of homosexuals. They then just as quickly refused to appologize for a cartoon making fun of Christians. Makes you wonder what our world is coming to.

I, if you're curious, think we need to be able to laugh at ourselves and think they needn't appologize for either, but it's interesting how quickly they appologized for one and refused to for the other.

Hmmm..

And honestly, I just contributed to the ridiculousness of it by even mentioning what the particular groups in question were....it was making fun of two groups and appologizing for one but not the other that bothers me, not which they did or did not appologize for.

Now I never want to type the word 'appologize' again >.<

David and I had a discussion about this this am and thought that not being able to laugh at ourselves and life in general just sucks. Your blog made us think and gave us something to talk about. Thanks, Niki!
